處理細胞更換之方法及其相關裝置Method for treating cell replacement and related device

本發明係關於一種用於一無線通訊系統之方法及通訊裝置,尤指一種用於無線通訊系統,可改善一細胞更換機制之方法及通訊裝置。The present invention relates to a method and a communication device for a wireless communication system, and more particularly to a method and a communication device for a wireless communication system that can improve a cell replacement mechanism.

跨無線存取技術(Inter-radio-access-technology,Inter-RAT)係牽涉從一無線存取技術至另一無線存取技術之一網路端與一行動通訊裝置的連接轉換。跨無線存取技術可能因為遞交(Handover)或細胞重選(Cell Reselection)而產生轉換。在細胞重選的情況下,用戶端會與不同無線存取技術之細胞的連接,其中目前常用的無線存取技術例如有全球行動通信系統(Global System for Mobile communications,GSM)/提高數據速率的GSM演進技術(Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution,EDEG)、通用移動通信系統(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS),及長期演進系統(Long-Term Evolution,LTE)。Inter-radio-access-technology (Inter-RAT) involves the connection of a network from one wireless access technology to another wireless access technology to a mobile communication device. Cross-radio access technology may result in conversions due to Handover or Cell Reselection. In the case of cell reselection, the client will connect with cells of different wireless access technologies, among which the commonly used wireless access technologies are, for example, Global System for Mobile communications (GSM)/increased data rate. Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDEG), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), and Long-Term Evolution (LTE).

一離開GSM/EDEG無線接取網路(GSM/EDEG Radio Access Network,GERAN)細胞之細胞更換指示程序,如網路端控制細胞重選,係透過一包含目標細胞(Target Cell)資訊之封包細胞更換指示(PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER)訊息啟始。當接收封包細胞更換指示訊息時,用戶端(User Equipment,UE)啟始一計時器T3174,並選擇目標細胞以建立連接。若計時器T3174於無線資源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)連接建立完成前期滿,細胞更換指示程序被視為失敗,而行動通訊台(Mobile Station,MS)返回GERAN細胞。此外,當行動通訊台存取目標細胞被拒絕時(如行動通訊台接收一立即指派拒絕(IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT)訊息、一封包指派拒絕(PACKET ASSIGNMENT REJECT)訊息,或一通用地面無線接取網路(UTRAN)細胞之一無線資源控制連接拒絕(RRC CONNECTION REJECT)訊息),細胞更換指示程序亦被視為失敗。A cell replacement indicator program that leaves the GSM/EDEG Radio Access Network (GERAN) cell, such as a network-controlled cell reselection, through a packet containing cells of Target Cell information. The PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message begins. When receiving the packet cell replacement indication message, the user equipment (User Equipment, UE) starts a timer T3174 and selects the target cell to establish a connection. If the timer T3174 expires before the completion of the establishment of the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection, the cell replacement indication procedure is regarded as a failure, and the mobile station (MS) returns to the GERAN cell. In addition, when the mobile communication station access target cell is rejected (such as the mobile communication station receives an IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT REJECT message, a PACKET ASSIGNMENT REJECT message, or a universal terrestrial wireless access network) One of the (UTRAN) cells, the RRC CONNECTION REJECT message, is also considered a failure.

一離開通用移動通信系統細胞之細胞更換指示程序係透過一從通用地面無線接取網路細胞更換指示(CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN)訊息啟始,其中從通用地面無線接取網路細胞更換指示訊息包含有目標細胞之資訊。當接收從通用地面無線接取網路細胞更換指示訊息時,行動通訊台啟始一計時器T309,並選擇目標細胞以建立一無線資源控制連接。若計時器T309於無線資源控制連接建立完成前期滿,細胞更換指示程序被視為失敗,而行動通訊台返回UMTS細胞。此外,當行動通訊台存取目標細胞被拒絕時,細胞更換指示程序亦被視為失敗。由上述可得知,計時器T3174及T309提供細胞更換指示程序之一有效期限。A cell replacement indication procedure that leaves the cells of the universal mobile communication system begins with a message from the CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN message, in which the network cell replacement indication message is received from the universal terrestrial radio. Contains information about target cells. Upon receiving the global cell access network cell change indication message, the mobile communication station initiates a timer T309 and selects the target cell to establish a radio resource control connection. If the timer T309 expires before the establishment of the RRC connection is completed, the cell replacement indication procedure is considered a failure and the mobile communication station returns to the UMTS cell. In addition, the cell replacement indicator procedure was also considered a failure when the mobile communication station access target cell was rejected. As can be seen from the above, the timers T3174 and T309 provide one of the expiration dates of the cell replacement indicating program.

當用戶端進行細胞更換指示程序以從其他無線存取技術(如GSM/UMTS)轉換至一長期演進細胞,即一增強通用地面無線接取(Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access,E-UTRA)細胞時,用戶端是以一無線資源控制閒置狀態(RRC_IDlE state)進入長期演進細胞,接著再進行一隨機存取程序(Random Access Procedure),以與長期演進細胞內之一基地台(Evolved Node-B)上鏈路同步,以及完成RRC連接建立程序。隨機存取程序係為本領域者所熟知之技術,故其詳細說明在此省略。若細胞更換指示程序失敗,則用戶端返回來源細胞(Source Cell)。另外,長期演進系統利用數個計時器計時存取封鎖(Access Barring)時間。一計時器T302係用來計時關於用戶端發話(Mobile originating call)/受話(Mobile terminating call)或主動信令傳輸(Mobile originating signaling)之RRC連接壅塞時間;一計時器T303係用來計時關於用戶端發話之RRC連接壅塞時間;一計時器T305係用來計時關於用戶端主動信令傳輸之RRC連接壅塞時間。在RRC連接建立程序中,壅塞狀態下之長期演進細胞可透過傳送一RRC連接拒絕(RRC CONNECTION REJECT)訊息,拒絕一RRC連接請求。在此情況下,用戶端必需設定一等待時間予計時器T302,其中,上述等待時間係包含於RRC連接拒絕訊息中。換句話說,存取封鎖時間可由計時器T302反映。When the UE performs a cell replacement indication procedure to switch from other radio access technologies (such as GSM/UMTS) to a long term evolution cell, ie, an enhanced Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) cell, The UE enters the long-term evolution cell in a radio resource control idle state (RRC_IDlE state), and then performs a random access procedure to communicate with the Evolved Node-B in the long-term evolution cell. Link synchronization and completion of the RRC connection setup procedure. The random access procedure is a technique well known to those skilled in the art, and thus its detailed description is omitted here. If the cell replacement indicator fails, the client returns to the source cell. In addition, the Long Term Evolution system utilizes several timers to access the Barring time. A timer T302 is used to time the RRC connection congestion time of the Mobile originating call/Mobile terminating call or the Mobile originating signaling; a timer T303 is used to time the user. The RRC connection congestion time of the terminal is sent; a timer T305 is used to time the RRC connection congestion time for the active signaling transmission of the UE. In the RRC connection establishment procedure, the long-term evolution cell in the congestion state can reject an RRC connection request by transmitting an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message. In this case, the UE must set a waiting time to the timer T302, wherein the waiting time is included in the RRC Connection Reject message. In other words, the access lockout time can be reflected by the timer T302.

在習知技術中,長期演進細胞之細胞更換指示程序未被清楚說明及記載,因此,用戶端可能面臨下列四種情況。In the prior art, the cell replacement instruction procedure of the long-term evolution cell is not clearly described and recorded, and therefore, the user terminal may face the following four cases.

第一種情況,當進行資料傳輸(如停留在GERAN系統之一封包傳送模式)時,若用戶端接收一細胞更換指示,必須儘早與目標長期演進細胞建立一RRC連接。然而,目標長期演進細胞可能因用戶端發話或主動信令傳輸而造成暫時性壅塞,而存取封鎖時間可能太長,長到在經過細胞更換後,用戶端資料傳送的嚴重延遲,如此一來影響使用服務之連續性及品質。In the first case, when performing data transmission (such as staying in a packet transmission mode of the GERAN system), if the UE receives a cell replacement indication, an RRC connection must be established with the target long term evolution cell as early as possible. However, the target long-term evolutionary cells may be temporarily blocked due to user-side signaling or active signaling, and the access blocking time may be too long, so that after the cell replacement, the user-side data transmission is seriously delayed. Affect the continuity and quality of the service.

第二種情況,在一GERAN(GSM/EDEG無線存取網路)細胞下,且操作於一封包傳送模式之一用戶端接收封包細胞更換指示訊息,以更換至一EUTRA細胞。此時,用戶端啟始計時器T3174,其設定為15秒。接著,用戶端選擇該EUTRA細胞並進行一隨機存取程序,以傳送一RRC連接請求訊息至該EUTRA細胞。用戶端競爭成功(Contention Resolution)取得隨機存取權,即用戶端偵測得一隨機存取回應(Random Access Response)中之一暫時細胞無線網路暫時認證(Temporary C-RATI),以及於接收封包中,得到對應用戶端競爭結果認證(Contention Resolution Identity)後,用戶端視細胞更換指示程序成功,並停止計時器T3174。然而,EUTRA細胞回應一RRC連接拒絕(RRC CONNECTION REJECT)訊息,其包含可能為1~16秒間之一等待時間。若用戶端啟始計時器T302,其設為一8秒的等待時間,則用戶端在計時器T302期滿前,無法進入EUTRA細胞。當T302期滿時,用戶端再次進行RRC連接建立程序。此時,若用戶端再次接收另一RRC連接拒絕訊息時,而且該RRC連接拒絕訊息包含一10秒的等待時間,這使得用戶端無法取得EUTRA細胞存取權限。由上可知,EUTRAN之一壅塞狀態可能使得用戶端的總等待時間(18秒)超過計時器T3174之一時間限制(15秒),造成用戶端存取延遲。In the second case, the UE receives a packet cell replacement indication message under a GERAN (GSM/EDEG Radio Access Network) cell and operates in a packet transmission mode to change to an EUTRA cell. At this point, the UE initiates timer T3174, which is set to 15 seconds. Next, the UE selects the EUTRA cell and performs a random access procedure to transmit an RRC Connection Request message to the EUTRA cell. The contention resolution of the user obtains random access, that is, the UE detects a temporary cellular wireless network temporary authentication (Temporary C-RATI) in a random access response (Random Access Response), and receives In the packet, after obtaining the corresponding contention resolution identity (Userion Resolution Identity), the user sees the cell replacement indication program succeeding, and stops the timer T3174. However, the EUTRA cell responds with an RRC CONNECTION REJECT message, which may include one of the waiting times between 1 and 16 seconds. If the UE initiates the timer T302, which is set to a waiting time of 8 seconds, the UE cannot enter the EUTRA cell until the timer T302 expires. When T302 expires, the UE performs the RRC connection establishment procedure again. At this time, if the UE receives another RRC Connection Reject message again, and the RRC Connection Reject message contains a 10-second waiting time, the UE cannot obtain the EUTRA cell access right. It can be seen from the above that one of the EUTRAN congestion states may cause the total waiting time (18 seconds) of the UE to exceed the time limit of one of the timers T3174 (15 seconds), resulting in a delay in the client access.

第三種情況,在一GERAN細胞下,且操作於一封包傳送模式之一用戶端接收一封包細胞指示訊息,以更換至一EUTRA細胞。首先,用戶端啟始一設定為15秒之計時器T3174,接著用戶端選擇該EUTRA細胞並進行一隨機存取程序,以傳送一RRC連接請求訊息。然而,若EUTRA細胞回覆一包含一等待時間為2秒的RRC連接拒絕訊息,這表示網路控制細胞重選失敗。然而,上述的等待時間太短,以用戶端的立場來說,用戶端可以很快地重新傳送RRC連接請求訊息。因此,若用戶端根據上述規範而返回至原來細胞時,則失去取得較佳資料傳輸速率的機會。In the third case, the UE receives a packet cell indication message under a GERAN cell and operates in a packet transmission mode to replace it with an EUTRA cell. First, the UE initiates a timer T3174 set to 15 seconds, and then the UE selects the EUTRA cell and performs a random access procedure to transmit an RRC Connection Request message. However, if the EUTRA cell reply contains an RRC Connection Reject message with a latency of 2 seconds, this indicates that the network controls cell reselection failure. However, the above waiting time is too short. From the standpoint of the client, the UE can quickly retransmit the RRC Connection Request message. Therefore, if the user returns to the original cell according to the above specifications, the chance of obtaining a better data transmission rate is lost.

第四種情況,在一GERAN細胞下,且操作於一封包傳送模式之一用戶端接收一封包細胞指示訊息,以更換至一E-UTRA細胞。此時,用戶端啟始設定為15秒之計時器T3174,以及選擇E-UTRA細胞,以傳送一RRC連接請求訊息。若E-UTRA細胞為壅塞狀態,則用戶端在存取E-UTRA細胞時,啟始計時器T303或T305。在此情況下,由於用戶端發話(T303)或用戶端主動信令傳輸(T305)之存取封鎖,用戶端無法進行一隨機存取程序。若計時器T303或T305大於15秒,則用戶端無法在計時器T3174期滿前,存取E-UTRA細胞。簡單來說,若計時器T303或T305之時間大於計時器T3174之等待時間,將無可避免地造成細胞更換程序的失敗。在計時器T3174期滿後,用戶端返回GERAN細胞,並傳送一封包細胞更換指示失敗(PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER FAILURE)訊息。在上述情況中,用戶端在計時器T3174計時期間禁止存取EUTRA細胞,且必需等到計時器T3174期滿才能返回原細胞。In the fourth case, at a GERAN cell, and operating in one of the packet transmission modes, the client receives a packet cell indication message for replacement to an E-UTRA cell. At this time, the UE starts the timer T3174 set to 15 seconds, and selects the E-UTRA cell to transmit an RRC connection request message. If the E-UTRA cell is in a stagnation state, the user initiates the timer T303 or T305 when accessing the E-UTRA cell. In this case, the client cannot perform a random access procedure due to the access blocking of the client (T303) or the client's active signaling (T305). If the timer T303 or T305 is greater than 15 seconds, the UE cannot access the E-UTRA cells before the timer T3174 expires. In short, if the time of timer T303 or T305 is greater than the waiting time of timer T3174, it will inevitably cause the failure of the cell replacement procedure. After the timer T3174 expires, the UE returns to the GERAN cell and transmits a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER FAILURE message. In the above case, the UE prohibits access to the EUTRA cells during the timer T3174 timing and must wait until the timer T3174 expires to return to the original cells.

習知技術只有在接收一存取拒絕訊息(如一立即指派拒絕訊息)時才會認定胞更換指示程序失敗。習知技術並未考慮目標細胞之存取封鎖時間長短,因此造成用戶端資料傳輸的長時間延遲。The prior art will only determine that the cell replacement indicator has failed when receiving an access denied message (such as an immediate assignment rejection message). The prior art does not consider the length of access blocking time of the target cell, thus causing long delays in data transmission of the client.

因此,本發明提供一種處理一無線存取技術細胞更換之方法及相關通訊裝置,以避免上述問題發生。Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of processing a radio access technology cell replacement and associated communication device to avoid the above problems.

請參考第1圖,其為一細胞更換之示意圖。在第1圖中,一細胞12為一行動裝置10之服務細胞,細胞12及14支援不同的無線存取技術。此外,行動裝置10能夠支援細胞12及14的無線存取技術。細胞12支援一通用移動通信系統(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)無線存取技術、一全球行動通信系統(Global System for Mobile communications,GSM)或一提高數據速率的GSM演進技術(Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution,EDEG)無線存取技術,並由一基地台(如Node B)控制。細胞14支援一長期演進(Long-Term Evolution,LTE)無線存取技術,以及可由LTE無線存取技術下之一基地台(Evolved-Node B)控制,其提供一用戶端一無線介面。行動裝置10可視為一用戶端(User Equipment,UE)或一行動通訊台(Mobile Station,MS),其支援上述之無線存取技術,並可為一行動電話或一電腦系統等裝置。行動裝置10可量測通訊品質,例如無線訊號的接收強度,或通道(Channel)/頻率之品質,並產生相關量測報告給服務細胞。當量測報告顯示一不良通訊品質時,細胞12可傳送一細胞更換指示來啟始一細胞更換指示程序,以指派細胞14予行動裝置10。在細胞更換時,細胞12及14分別視為一來源細胞及一目標細胞。當細胞12為一GSM/GERAN細胞時,細胞更換指示為一封包細胞更換指示(PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER)訊息。或是,當細胞12為一UMTS細胞時,細胞更換指示為一從通用地面無線接取網路細胞更換指示(CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN)訊息。當接收細胞更換指示時,行動裝置10進行一細胞更換指示程序,以存取細胞14。一般來說,行動裝置10選擇細胞14之後,會進行一隨機存取程序,以取得上鏈路同步及建立一無線資源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)連接。此外,當開始進行細胞更換指示程序時,行動裝置10啟始一計時器,以提供細胞更換指示程序一有效期限。當細胞12為一GSM/GERAN細胞時,計時器為T3174,而當細胞12為一UMTS細胞時,計時器為T309。當行動裝置10接收一無線資源控制連接建立(RRC CONNECTION SETUP)訊息時,這表示目標細胞接受無線資源控制連接,因此行動裝置10停止計時器,並判斷細胞更換指示程序完成。當計時器(T3174或T309)於無線資源控制連接建立程序完成前期滿時,則行動裝置10返回細胞12。此外,細胞14可進行關於用戶端發話(mobile originating call)、用戶端受話(mobile terminating call)、主動信令傳輸(mobile originating signaling)或一細胞更換指示的存取封鎖。對於細胞14的存取封鎖,行動裝置10建立一返回條件,並當符合返回條件時,判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗。Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of a cell replacement. In Fig. 1, a cell 12 is a serving cell of a mobile device 10, and cells 12 and 14 support different radio access technologies. In addition, the mobile device 10 can support the radio access technology of the cells 12 and 14. The cell 12 supports a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) radio access technology, a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) or an GSM evolution technology (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM). Evolution, EDEG) wireless access technology, and controlled by a base station (such as Node B). The cell 14 supports a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) radio access technology and can be controlled by an Evolved-Node B under LTE radio access technology, which provides a UE-to-radio interface. The mobile device 10 can be regarded as a user equipment (UE) or a mobile station (MS), which supports the above-mentioned wireless access technology, and can be a mobile phone or a computer system. The mobile device 10 can measure the quality of the communication, such as the received strength of the wireless signal, or the quality of the channel/frequency, and generate an associated measurement report to the serving cell. When the equivalent test report indicates a poor communication quality, the cell 12 can transmit a cell replacement indicator to initiate a cell replacement indicator procedure to assign the cell 14 to the mobile device 10. At the time of cell replacement, cells 12 and 14 are regarded as a source cell and a target cell, respectively. When the cell 12 is a GSM/GERAN cell, the cell replacement indication is a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message. Alternatively, when the cell 12 is a UMTS cell, the cell replacement indication is a CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN message. When receiving the cell replacement instruction, the mobile device 10 performs a cell replacement instruction procedure to access the cells 14. In general, after the mobile device 10 selects the cell 14, a random access procedure is performed to obtain uplink synchronization and establish a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection. Further, when the cell replacement instructing procedure is started, the mobile device 10 starts a timer to provide a cell replacement indicating program for an expiration date. When cell 12 is a GSM/GERAN cell, the timer is T3174, and when cell 12 is a UMTS cell, the timer is T309. When the mobile device 10 receives a RRC CONNECTION SETUP message, this indicates that the target cell accepts the RRC connection, so the mobile device 10 stops the timer and determines that the cell replacement indication procedure is completed. When the timer (T3174 or T309) expires before the completion of the RRC connection establishment procedure, the mobile device 10 returns to the cell 12. In addition, the cell 14 can perform an access blockade with respect to a mobile originating call, a mobile terminating call, a mobile originating signaling, or a cell replacement indication. For the access blockade of the cell 14, the mobile device 10 establishes a return condition and, when the return condition is met, determines that the cell replacement indicating procedure has failed.

當行動裝置10符合返回條件時,則表示細胞更換指示程序因細胞14存取封鎖而失敗,在此情況下,行動裝置10返回或重選細胞12,並傳送一細胞更換指示失敗訊息至細胞12。上述之細胞更換指示失敗訊息包含一失敗資訊,其指示細胞更換指示程序失敗的原因是細胞14的存取封鎖。此外,失敗資訊可另包含有一存取封鎖時間,控制細胞12之一基地台可根據存取封鎖時間,判斷是否或何時啟動行動裝置10之細胞更換指示程序。於經過上述存取封鎖時間之後,基地台可再次傳送細胞更換指示訊息(如封包細胞更換指示/從通用地面無線接取網路細胞更換指示訊息)至行動裝置10,以指示行動裝置10重新進行細胞更換指示程序。When the mobile device 10 meets the return condition, it indicates that the cell replacement indicating procedure has failed due to the cell 14 access blockade, in which case the mobile device 10 returns or reselects the cell 12 and transmits a cell replacement indication failure message to the cell 12 . The cell replacement indication failure message described above includes a failure message indicating that the cell replacement indication procedure failed due to the access blockade of the cell 14. In addition, the failure information may further include an access blocking time, and one of the control cells 12 may determine whether or when to activate the cell replacement indicating procedure of the mobile device 10 according to the access blocking time. After the above-mentioned access blocking time, the base station may again transmit a cell replacement indication message (such as a packet cell replacement indication/from the universal terrestrial wireless access network cell replacement indication message) to the mobile device 10 to instruct the mobile device 10 to perform the re-operation. Cell replacement indicator procedure.

請參考第3圖,其為本發明第一實施例一流程30之流程圖。流程30係用於一用戶端(或一行動通訊台),用來根據一返回條件處理一細胞更換,其中該返回條件係建立於接收到之訊息的基礎上。流程30可編譯為程式214,並包含下列步驟:Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flowchart of a process 30 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The process 30 is for a client (or a mobile communication station) for processing a cell replacement based on a return condition, wherein the return condition is based on the received message. The process 30 can be compiled into the program 214 and includes the following steps:

步驟300:開始。Step 300: Start.

步驟310:當接收一非長期演進細胞之一細胞更換指示指令時,進行一細胞更換指示程序,以從該非長期演進細胞(來源細胞)更換至一長期演進細胞(目標細胞)。Step 310: When receiving a cell replacement instruction instruction of one of the non-long-term evolution cells, perform a cell replacement indicating program to change from the non-long-term evolutionary cell (source cell) to a long-term evolution cell (target cell).

步驟320:當接收長期演進無線存取技術之一訊息,且該訊息指示長期演進細胞存取封鎖時,判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗。Step 320: When receiving one of the messages of the long term evolution radio access technology, and the message indicates long term evolution cell access blocking, it is determined that the cell replacement indication procedure fails.

步驟330:結束。Step 330: End.

根據流程30,用戶端進行細胞更換指示程序,以選擇長期演進細胞,以及當接收到指示長期演進細胞的存取封鎖之訊息時,判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗。此外,於選擇長期演進細胞後,用戶端會進行一隨機存取程序,以完成一無線資源控制連接建立程序。值得注意的是,若長期演進細胞發生存取壅塞,其拒絕所有無線資源控制連接。在此情況下,長期演進無線存取技術所傳送之訊息為一無線資源控制連接拒絕(RRC CONNECTION REJECT)訊息,其指示無線資源控制連接建立程序失敗。換句話說,若透過長期演進無線存取技術所進行之無線資源控制連接建立程序因為存取封鎖而失敗,則用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗。因此,在細胞更換指示程序進行期間,用戶端不會重新進行無線資源控制連接建立程序。According to the process 30, the UE performs a cell replacement instructing procedure to select a long-term evolution cell, and when receiving a message indicating an access blockade of the long-term evolution cell, determines that the cell replacement instruction procedure has failed. In addition, after selecting the long-term evolution cell, the UE performs a random access procedure to complete a radio resource control connection establishment procedure. It is worth noting that if long-term evolutionary cells experience access congestion, they reject all radio resource control connections. In this case, the message transmitted by the Long Term Evolution Radio Access Technology is a RRC CONNECTION REJECT message indicating that the RRC connection establishment procedure has failed. In other words, if the RRC connection establishment procedure performed by the Long Term Evolution Radio Access Technology fails due to access blocking, the UE determines that the cell replacement indication procedure has failed. Therefore, during the cell replacement instruction procedure, the UE does not re-establish the RRC connection establishment procedure.

其中,隨機存取程序包含與其他用戶端競爭誰能較優先取得長期演進細胞之存取權限的程序。此外,前述之非長期演進細胞可為一GSM/GERAN/UMTS細胞,以及用戶端可啟始一計時器T3174/T309。當用戶端獲得隨機存取程序之競爭結果時,計時器T3174/T309繼續計時。當無線資源控制連接建立程序因為存取封鎖失敗時,用戶端停止計時器T3174/T309。用戶端亦可啟始用來計時存取封鎖時間之一計時器,其可為T302、T303或T305,而當計時器期滿或停止時,用戶端向自身較上層之通訊層(例如一應用層或一非接取(Non Access Stratum)層)通知存取封鎖已解除。Among them, the random access program includes a program that competes with other users to obtain priority access to long-term evolution cells. In addition, the aforementioned non-long-term evolution cells may be a GSM/GERAN/UMTS cell, and the user may initiate a timer T3174/T309. When the UE obtains the contention result of the random access procedure, the timer T3174/T309 continues to count. When the RRC connection establishment procedure fails because the access lockout fails, the UE stops the timer T3174/T309. The client may also start a timer for timing access lockout time, which may be T302, T303 or T305, and when the timer expires or stops, the user end to the upper communication layer (for example, an application) The layer or a Non Access Stratum layer informs that the access lock has been released.

另外,於判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗後,用戶端返回非長期演進細胞,並進行行動裝置10於返回細胞12後所進行之步驟。透過流程30及前述傳送至非長期演進細胞之失敗資訊,用戶端除了不會因為長期演進細胞的存取封鎖,而遭遇嚴重的資料傳輸延遲,也不會遭逢乒乓情況。所謂的乒乓情況即用戶端執行多次進行細胞更換指示程序,但由於存取封鎖,造成細胞更換指示程序不斷失敗,而持續往返於兩細胞之間。In addition, after determining that the cell replacement instruction procedure has failed, the client returns to the non-long-term evolutionary cell and performs the steps performed by the mobile device 10 after returning to the cell 12. Through the failure information of the process 30 and the foregoing transmission to the non-long-term evolutionary cell, the user terminal will not encounter a serious data transmission delay and will not suffer from the ping-pong situation except that the access of the long-term evolutionary cell is not blocked. The so-called ping-pong situation, that is, the user side performs the cell replacement instruction procedure multiple times, but the cell replacement instruction program continuously fails due to the access blockade, and continues to travel between the two cells.

舉例來說,當進行資料傳輸時(如在一GERAN系統下之一封包傳送模式),用戶端接收一細胞更換指示,接著立即嘗試與壅塞狀態之目標長期演進細胞建立一無線資源控制連接。根據流程30之概念,當長期演進細胞指示用戶端存取封鎖時,用戶端判斷細胞更換指示失敗,並接著返回來源細胞,以在來源細胞重新啟動資料傳輸,進而避免資料傳輸延遲問題。除此之外,乒乓情況亦可避免,使用戶端不會因為存取封鎖,卻不斷進行必定失敗的細胞更換指示程序。因此,使用服務之連續性/品質可以獲得改善。For example, when performing data transmission (such as a packet transmission mode under a GERAN system), the UE receives a cell replacement indication and then immediately attempts to establish a radio resource control connection with the target long-term evolutionary cell in the occlusion state. According to the concept of the process 30, when the long-term evolution cell indicates the user-side access blockade, the user terminal determines that the cell replacement indication fails, and then returns to the source cell to restart the data transmission at the source cell, thereby avoiding the data transmission delay problem. In addition, the ping-pong situation can be avoided, so that the user does not block the access, but the cell replacement instruction procedure that must fail is continuously performed. Therefore, the continuity/quality of service use can be improved.

請參考第4圖,其為本發明第二實施例一流程40之流程圖。流程40係用於一用戶端(或一行動通訊台),用來處理一細胞更換,其中,返回條件係根據一等待時間狀態建立。流程40可編譯為程式214,並包含下列步驟:Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a flowchart of a process 40 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The process 40 is for a user terminal (or a mobile communication station) for processing a cell replacement, wherein the return condition is established according to a waiting time state. The process 40 can be compiled into the program 214 and includes the following steps:

步驟400:開始。Step 400: Start.

步驟410:進行一細胞更換指示程序,以從一非長期演進細胞更換至一長期演進細胞,以及當接收非長期演進細胞所傳送之一細胞更換指示指令時,啟始一計時器TA,以提供該細胞更換指示程序之一有效期限。Step 410: Perform a cell replacement indicating program to change from a non-long-term evolution cell to a long-term evolution cell, and when receiving a cell replacement instruction instruction transmitted by the non-long-term evolution cell, start a timer TA to provide The cell replacement indicator is one of the expiration dates.

步驟420:接收長期演進細胞存取封鎖之一等待時間。Step 420: Receive one of the waiting times of the long term evolution cell access blockade.

步驟430:當該等待時間大於或等於計時器TA之一剩餘時間時,判斷該細胞更換指示程序失敗。Step 430: When the waiting time is greater than or equal to one of the remaining time of the timer TA, it is determined that the cell replacement indicating program fails.

步驟440:結束。Step 440: End.

根據流程40,當接收之長期演進細胞的等待時間大於或等於計時器TA之剩餘時間時,用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗。反之,當等待時間小於計時器TA之剩餘時間時,用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序仍為有效狀態。此外,當接收到等待時間,用戶端可啟始一計時器TB,其用來計時等待時間。較佳地,計時器TA為T3174/T309;計時器TB為T302。According to the process 40, when the waiting time of the received long-term evolution cell is greater than or equal to the remaining time of the timer TA, the UE determines that the cell replacement indication procedure has failed. On the other hand, when the waiting time is less than the remaining time of the timer TA, the UE determines that the cell replacement indicating program is still in the active state. In addition, when a waiting time is received, the UE can initiate a timer TB, which is used to time the waiting time. Preferably, the timer TA is T3174/T309; the timer TB is T302.

等待時間可包含於用戶端及長期演進細胞間所進行之一無線資源控制建立程序之一無線資源控制連接拒絕(RRC CONNECTION REJECT)訊息中。在此情況下,在判斷細胞更換指示程序仍為有效狀態後,用戶端於計時器TB期滿時進行另一無線資源控制連接建立程序。若在進行另一無線資源控制連接建立程序時,接收到另一等待時間,則用戶端比較此最新接收之等待時間與計時器TA目前剩餘時間。等待時間之比較及判斷可如同上述不斷重複,直到用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗或與長期演進細胞成功建立一無線資源控制連接為止。The waiting time may be included in one of the radio resource control connection rejection procedures (RRC CONNECTION REJECT) messages performed by the UE and the long term evolution cell. In this case, after determining that the cell replacement indication program is still in the active state, the UE performs another radio resource control connection establishment procedure when the timer TB expires. If another waiting time is received while another radio resource control connection establishment procedure is being performed, the UE compares the waiting time of the latest reception with the current remaining time of the timer TA. The comparison and judgment of the waiting time can be repeated as described above until the user terminal determines that the cell replacement indicating program has failed or successfully establishes a radio resource control connection with the long term evolution cell.

當等待時間大於或等於計時器TA之剩餘時間時,意即長期演進細胞之一存取封鎖時間大於細胞更換指示程序之有效期限。換句話說,由於計時器TA之期滿時刻早於等待時間之期滿時刻,使得細胞更換指示程序必定會被判斷為失敗。在此情況下,用戶端可利用流程40及時地判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗,而不需等到計時器TA或等待時間之期滿時刻。在判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗後,用戶端可直接返回非長期演進細胞,以避免用戶端遭遇一長時間傳輸延遲。When the waiting time is greater than or equal to the remaining time of the timer TA, it means that one of the long-term evolution cells has an access blocking time greater than the expiration date of the cell replacement indicating program. In other words, since the expiration time of the timer TA is earlier than the expiration time of the waiting time, the cell replacement instructing program must be judged as a failure. In this case, the UE can use the process 40 to promptly determine that the cell replacement indication procedure has failed without waiting for the timer TA or the expiration time of the waiting time. After determining that the cell replacement indication procedure has failed, the UE can directly return to the non-long-term evolution cell to avoid the user encountering a long transmission delay.

當接收到之等待時間小於計時器TA之剩餘時間時,用戶端具有再一次機會存取長期演進細胞,以獲得較佳之通訊服務品質,如獲得較高的資料傳輸速率。When the waiting time received is less than the remaining time of the timer TA, the UE has another chance to access the long-term evolution cells to obtain better communication service quality, such as obtaining a higher data transmission rate.

舉例來說,一GERAN細胞下且操作於一封包傳輸模式之用戶端接收封包細胞更換指示(PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER)訊息,以更換細胞至一長期演進細胞。用戶端啟始計時器T3174,其設定為15秒,接著用戶端選擇長期演進細胞,並進行一隨機存取程序,以傳送一無線資源控制連接要求(RRC CONNECTION REQUEST)訊息。由於長期演進細胞的存取封鎖,用戶端接收到無線資源控制連接拒絕(RRC CONNECTION REJECT)訊息,並啟始計時器T302,其計時時間設為一等待時間。假設接收封包細胞更換指示訊息及接收無線資源控制連接拒絕訊息之間隔時間可忽略,若等待時間為16或15秒,由上可知其大於或等於計時器T3174,則用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗,並返回GERAN細胞。用戶端選擇GERAN細胞後,傳送一封包細胞更換指示失敗(PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER FAILURE)訊息,以通知GERAN細胞前述細胞更換指示程序失敗。For example, a user operating under a GERAN cell and operating in a packet transmission mode receives a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER message to exchange cells to a long term evolution cell. The client initiates a timer T3174, which is set to 15 seconds, and then the UE selects the long term evolution cell and performs a random access procedure to transmit a RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message. Due to the access blocking of the long-term evolution cell, the UE receives the RRC CONNECTION REJECT message and starts the timer T302, and its timing is set to a waiting time. Assume that the interval between receiving the packet cell replacement indication message and receiving the RRC connection rejection message is negligible. If the waiting time is 16 or 15 seconds, it is known that it is greater than or equal to the timer T3174, and the UE determines that the cell replacement indication procedure has failed. And return GERAN cells. After the user selects the GERAN cell, a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER FAILURE message is sent to notify the GERAN cell that the cell replacement instruction procedure failed.

反之,若等待時間小於15秒,則在計時器T302期滿後,用戶端再次進行無線資源控制連接建立程序。在最新無線資源控制連接建立程序中,若用戶端接收到包含另一等待時間之另一無線資源控制連接拒絕訊息,則根據最新接收到之等待時間,用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序是否失敗。在此情況下,假設計時器T3174之剩餘時間為10秒,若最新接收到之等待時間為10~16秒,則用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗,並且進行第三次的無線資源控制連接建立程序,以求取較佳之通訊服務品質。由上可知,透過比較等待時間與計時器T3174,用戶端可降低資料傳輸之延遲。On the other hand, if the waiting time is less than 15 seconds, after the timer T302 expires, the UE performs the RRC connection establishment procedure again. In the latest RRC connection establishment procedure, if the UE receives another RRC connection rejection message containing another waiting time, the UE determines whether the cell replacement indication procedure has failed according to the latest received waiting time. In this case, it is assumed that the remaining time of the timer T3174 is 10 seconds, and if the latest received waiting time is 10 to 16 seconds, the UE determines that the cell replacement indication procedure has failed, and performs the third radio resource control connection. Establish procedures to achieve better communication service quality. As can be seen from the above, by comparing the waiting time with the timer T3174, the UE can reduce the delay of data transmission.

請參考第5圖,其為本發明第三實施例一流程50之流程圖。流程50係用於一用戶端(或一行動通訊台),用來處理一細胞更換,其中,返回條件係根據一存取封鎖計時器建立。流程50可編譯為程式214,並包含下列步驟:Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a flowchart of a process 50 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The process 50 is for a client (or a mobile communication station) for handling a cell replacement, wherein the return condition is established according to an access lockout timer. The process 50 can be compiled into the program 214 and includes the following steps:

步驟500:開始。Step 500: Start.

步驟510:當接收非長期演進細胞所傳送之一細胞更換指示指令時,進行一細胞更換指示程序,以從一非長期演進細胞更換至一長期演進細胞,及啟始一計時器TC,以提供該細胞更換指示程序之一有效期限。Step 510: When receiving a cell replacement instruction instruction transmitted by the non-long-term evolutionary cell, perform a cell replacement indication procedure to change from a non-long-term evolution cell to a long-term evolution cell, and start a timer TC to provide The cell replacement indicator is one of the expiration dates.

步驟520:當選擇該長期演進細胞時,啟始一計時器TD,以計時存取封鎖時間。Step 520: When the long term evolution cell is selected, a timer TD is started to time the access blocking time.

步驟530:當計時器TD之一初始時間值大於或等於計時器TC之一剩餘時間時,判斷該細胞更換指示程序失敗。Step 530: When one of the initial time values of the timer TD is greater than or equal to one of the remaining time of the timer TC, it is determined that the cell replacement indicating program fails.

步驟540:結束。Step 540: End.

根據流程50,用戶端利用計時器TC計時細胞更換指示程序之有效期限,以及利用計時器TD計時長期演進細胞之存取封鎖時間。當計時器TD之初始時間值(即計時期限)大於或等於計時器TC之剩餘時間時,用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗。計時器TD之初始時間值大於或等於計時器TC之剩餘時間代表長期演進細胞之存取封鎖期間大於細胞更換指示程序之有效期限。因此,細胞更換指示程序必定會失敗。在此情況下,透過流程50,用戶端可及早判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗。在判斷細胞更換指示程序失敗後,用戶端可返回非長期演進細胞,以避免用戶端資料傳輸嚴重延遲。According to the process 50, the UE uses the timer TC to time the expiration date of the cell replacement indicating program, and uses the timer TD to time the access blocking time of the long-term evolution cell. When the initial time value of the timer TD (ie, the timing period) is greater than or equal to the remaining time of the timer TC, the UE determines that the cell replacement indication procedure has failed. The initial time value of the timer TD is greater than or equal to the remaining time of the timer TC, which represents that the access blocking period of the long-term evolutionary cell is greater than the expiration date of the cell replacement indicating procedure. Therefore, the cell replacement indicator must fail. In this case, through the process 50, the UE can determine that the cell replacement indication procedure has failed early. After determining that the cell replacement indication procedure has failed, the client can return to the non-long-term evolution cell to avoid a serious delay in the data transmission of the client.

此外,當初始時間值小於計時器TC之剩餘時間時,用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序仍為有效狀態。於此之後,用戶端在計時器TD期滿時可進行一無線資源控制連接建立程序或一隨機存取程序。In addition, when the initial time value is less than the remaining time of the timer TC, the UE determines that the cell replacement indicating program is still in an active state. After that, the UE can perform a RRC connection establishment procedure or a random access procedure when the timer TD expires.

較佳地,計時器TD為T302、T303或T305;計時器TC為T3174/T309。當計時器TD為T302時,T302之初始時間值可設為一等待時間,其包含於用戶端及長期演進細胞間進行一無線資源控制建立程序之一無線資源控制連接拒絕訊息中。Preferably, the timer TD is T302, T303 or T305; the timer TC is T3174/T309. When the timer TD is T302, the initial time value of T302 can be set to a waiting time, which is included in a radio resource control connection reject message of one of the radio resource control establishment procedures between the UE and the long term evolution cell.

綜上所述,本發明實施例根據接收到之存取封鎖指示訊息、等待時間或獨立計時器,提供用戶端判斷細胞更換指示程序是否失敗之方法,以降低用戶端資料傳輸之長時間延遲。In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for the UE to determine whether the cell replacement indication procedure fails according to the received access blocking indication message, the waiting time, or an independent timer, so as to reduce the long-term delay of the data transmission of the client.
